Ademola Adeleke, the next governor of the state, has pledged to fire the appointed government workers on Monday in response to Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola’s nomination of 30 new permanent secretaries on Thursday.

On Thursday, Governor Oyetola approved and installed 30 senior civil servants as permanent secretaries. On Sunday, November 27, Adeleke is scheduled to take office as the State Governor.

In a quick reaction to the appointment, Adeleke, in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, threatened that any of the appointed civil servant that concedes to the appointment will be sacked by Monday.

The statement reads, “Senator Ademola Adeleke, the incoming governor of Osun State, has issued a warning to any Coordinating Director who accepts an appointment as permanent secretary from outgoing Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

“The Governor-elect confirmed that making such last-minute selections demonstrated the directors’ readiness to leave the public service.

” We want to put on records that those who accept the appointments should be ready to leave the service whether or not their service tenure has reached statutory age. The occupants will be treated as political appointees who will automatically follow the outgoing Governor out of public service from November 28.

“At the same time, those who still want to remain in service of Osun state government should decline the Greek gift from the outgoing Governor. We affirm that no waiver will be entertained in sacking from office any kangaroo permanent secretary.”
